It finally may happen--it should happen--I was told today it will happen--I SHOULD BE GETTING MY SHINGLES VACCINE ON WEDNESDAY AT THE WALGREEN'S TAKE CARE CENTER!!! (Maybe I can convince Allen to get it too if his insurance covers it--he knows the problem I have had getting it!!) 
I went to my vascular surgeon today for a follow up to the proceduredone 6 weeks ago and everything looks good. He did want me to be aware
that IF my legs get cold for no reason and/or I get blue toes OR a sore that doesn't heal OR excessive
bleeding from my legs--which he doesn't see any of this happening--I
will have to have a by-pass operation. As it is he did reopen the stent I had put in in 2000 and put another stent in right under that one. He said I have to push myself to walk everyday
and, no matter how much it may hurt, to rest a few seconds and then
continue so I guess I will go back to my walking around Gateway every evening after the news.
He said he would see me in a year at which time I would have to get an ultra sound and a referral so we made appointments for July 12 and 26, 2010!!!!
I came home to find a message on my answering machine from Emily--she had made a loaf of a certain bread that she makes that I love. I ran down to her place, got my bread, and have been nibbling on it all evening, heating it in the microwave, a few plain slices, a few with butter and a few with jam--oh well, there goes the diet AGAIN! LOL
I had a little trouble getting Cookie's car started but, eventually, Iwas on my way to the doctor. It being summer in South Florida and two
o'clock in the afternoon the storms started coming in as I drove up
State Road 7. The car doesn't have air conditioning but there was no
way I was going to close the windows--it was a wet ride!
Talking about Cookie--she wasn't feeling well Saturday morning--she had open heart surgery 7 years ago--having some pains in her chest. Being smart--youlearn as you get old--she didn't ask someone to take her to the ER but
called 911 and had the ambulance come and get her. (You get faster
service being brought in that way than signing into the ER!) They said
everything isokay but they wanted to keep her in for a couple of days and take tests. She should be home tomorrow.
Talking about tomorrow--I go see the last of my 'specialists' for thenext six months unless something 'happens'--I am hoping theophthalmologist
will find out what is causing my eyes to be read, itch and feel very
heavy 4-5 times a day for, what I see as, no particular reason.
After that I am threw with doctors, except my primary, until January!!!
Here's to getting the shingles vaccine on Wednesday after searching to get it since April 23rd!!!
